eMOTION II

In the first post – eMOTION, I described the process behind images I’ve been creating, where I take a still image and then apply a blur to it. These are similar but start with an intentional movement to create a blurred image as a starting point.

With these images, I took the concept, or technique I had been using for the first series of pictures and applied it to a different starting point. I tried a series of pictures taken from a moving vehicle, at night. With a long exposure of a few seconds or more, you can get some interesting light streaks and colour combinations.

By applying the motion blur in Photoshop, it’s possible to enhance the colours, smooth out the motion and create an end image that is more pleasing to look at.
